Earth becoming a disease hot spot : The warming earth is making us sick. Rising temperatures, frequent floods and prolonged droughts are ideal conditions for infectious diseases to spread.

Hassan said Petronas took seven to eight months to complete the masterplan, which will be officially handed over to the government at the ECER's launch.

Petronas, he said, could be one of the private sector representatives in the council that will run the ECER.

He said the council, whose members will include the prime minister and deputy prime minister, the menteris besar of the four states, two cabinet ministers and representatives of the private sector, will be responsible for the implementation of the ECER masterplan.

According to him, it is too early to say whether an authority will be established to manage the ECER, as has been done for the IDR and NCER.

Hassan said during the formulation of the ECER development plan, Petronas had spoken to all four state governments, including the Opposition-led Kelantan government.

"The plan can succeed. It will have one council, its Bill is being drafted to be tabled in Parliament in December," said Hassan.

"If there is focus and strong commitment, there is no reason why the ECER cannot succeed."

Repentance (At Taubah)

We can never be perfect since even prophets have at times made mistakes. Repentance means to abandon one's rebelliousness and arrogance before God and to stop deliberately disregarding His commandments without feeling any shame. Repentance also means to humbly hope for the mercy of God and to fear His judgment while doing the best one can to fulfill divine wishes within the limits of one's human weaknesses.
